Eric,<BR />Are you creating the user account in on-premises Active Directory and then adding a license to the user in the cloud, or is this a 100% pure cloud only identity?<BR /><BR />If it is an on-premises AD user that is synced to the cloud, there is a community script that was written that can send the email as part of the new account creation process, reference is here: <A href="https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/3188-office-365-user-creation" target="_blank">https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/3188-office-365-user-creation</A>Sat, 08 Jul 2017 04:59:30 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85766#M3992Joe Stocker2017-07-08T04:59:30ZRe: How to send a welcome message to new users?https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85773#M3995
<P>Apart from automating a "welcome" script, you might also consider informing your users when new functionality is rolled out, or simply remind them about some features exist. There's a built-in "wizard" as part of the O365 Admin portal that lets you do that: <A href="https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/iwwizard" target="_blank">https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/iwwizard</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Sat, 08 Jul 2017 06:36:09 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85773#M3995Vasil Michev2017-07-08T06:36:09ZRe: How to send a welcome message to new users?https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85777#M3998

Hi Joe , thanks for your fast reply. It's indeed an on-premise AD user that we sync to the cloud. The script you reference creates an account and at the end sends an email to the new user.<BR />For different reasons we're using the admin interface to create our AD users.<BR />Would it be possible to trigger/fire the script after the users are created ?<BR />In the script we would then only the mail send code.<BR />For different reasons we've a delay between the creation of the user, availability of the mail box and O365 license activation/assignment.<BR />Would it be possible to trigger the script after assigning the O365 license?Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:17:49 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85849#M4007Eric Deferm2017-07-09T08:17:49ZRe: How to send a welcome message to new users?https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85851#M4008
HI Vasil Michev,<BR />Tx for your prompt reply. This is really a great feature, just discovered it now.<BR />Do you know if MS will provide more of these 'Ready to send messages' ?<BR />Today I notice a RtSM for Teams, any chance we can expect RtSMs for Stream, Planner, Sway, and other future apps?Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:24:28 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85851#M4008Eric Deferm2017-07-09T08:24:28ZRe: How to send a welcome message to new users?https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/85877#M4009

<P>&nbsp;Hi all,</P>
<P>thanks for your feedback. We're indeed currently working on how to improve the "to user email capabilities" that we have in the admin center and to make this feature more discoverable to admins as well. If you have feedback in general on how you would like to see this fucntionality improve and evolve, please let us know.</P>
<P>Thanks,</P>

<P>Hi Anne,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Sure - here is my feedback:</P><P>Currently the new email templates are on demand only. It would be ideal if those can be triggered to be send for any new employee.</P><P>It would also be great if we can customize the templates or create our own that are then sent to new employees automatically.</P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Joe</P>Mon, 10 Jul 2017 17:44:09 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/86088#M4019Joe Stocker2017-07-10T17:44:09ZRe: How to send a welcome message to new users?https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/86259#M4025
Hi Anne, we have the same requirements as Joe:<BR />- option to automatically sent to new users (per template)<BR />- customize the message<BR />- availability of templates for the main new features/applications<BR />- add our own templates (like Welcome msg)<BR />Tx.Tue, 11 Jul 2017 07:16:06 GMThttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/86259#M4025Eric Deferm2017-07-11T07:16:06ZRe: How to send a welcome message to new users?https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/how-to-send-a-welcome-message-to-new-users/m-p/86277#M4027
